    under 'product features' there's a link to a suggested compatible fork.

    Unfortunately it's not available, I suppose I could get in a Chinese fork but I'd rather get something known

    no wonder the frame is so cheap, if you can't get a matching fork...

    Possibly worth giving PlanetX a buzz, they have this on the website https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/FOPXLORO/planet-x-london-road-fork#reviewstab - no indication of the full spec but the Cube seems to take a fairly standard fork so it might possibly fit. At £99, in black, its not going to be super-light, but then it is a disc bike :) and you will inevitably face the cost v weight compromise and you could easily pay more than you will for the Frame. Pl-X have a nice Selcof fork too, but its £275 - not sure if it would work.

    Yeah that planetx looks the job alright, to be honest I'd nearly be as well off to get a full planet X frame and fork as the cube can only be got in 60cm whereas the Cannondale Caad 10 I had previously was a 56cm and felt big even though I'm 6 foot.

    How are planet X bikes regarded these days?
